ITB's

[SL65AMG]

Unless you're going to drop the dime on some Jenvey/TODA port matched ITBs, it's not worth it on a basic engine.

I guarantee you, with the following components on a stock Type-R, you would see more power than with bolt on TWM 50mm ITBs, not to mention for more than half the price, and with MUCH easier tuning:

-Edelbrock Performer-X intake manifold (Port matched, the "As-Is" casting is awful, there's a LOT of meet on it, it MUST be port matched to your specific application. Good thing, they're only $300 brand new. People are getting better numbers with this manifold on basic all motor builds, than ANY OTHER MANIFOLD on the market, Skunk2, Importbuilders, AEBS, etc. One test saw 16whp increase, I'll post the dynochart when I can find it.)
-Max Bore Type-R throttle body (70mm-65mm, buy a Type-R throttle body for $100-$150, and give Max Bore $100 to bore it. Awesome throttle body for all motor applications)
-3" intake tube
-BPI velocity stack
-K&N filter

I promise this setup will make more power than bolt-on ITBs, for MUCH more than half the cost, and a much cheaper tune job. ITBs are awesome, they sound great, they're baller, I've had sets before, and they're fun... But if you're looking to spend a little bit of money for more power, a nice plenum/throttle body combination is where it's at!

16whp just using the intake man. or with all of what you mentioned?

16whp gain is teh hawtness

The Performer X manifold is all over the place on honda-tech, and yes, that was with just the manifold itself. Aerodynamic technology has come quite a long was from where it was 5 years ago.
